Summary:
The city of Nunda, New York is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Dalton-Nunda Central School District (Keshequa). While the district's schools show some areas of strength, there are also opportunities for improvement to ensure more consistent and equitable academic outcomes across all grade levels.
The standout school in the district is the Dalton-Nunda Intermediate School (Middle School), which has consistently ranked in the top half of New York middle schools and outperforms the district and state averages, particularly in math. In contrast, the Dalton-Nunda Primary School has the lowest proficiency rates, with only 16.28% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 31.82% proficient in math. The Dalton-Nunda Secondary School (High School) has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, though its 91.3% four-year graduation rate is commendable.
Across the district, there are some concerning trends, such as the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may indicate a significant population of students from low-income families. Additionally, the academic performance varies significantly across grade levels and subject areas, suggesting a need for a closer examination of curriculum, teaching practices, and resource allocation to ensure more consistent and equitable outcomes. However, the success of the Dalton-Nunda Intermediate School and the potential for improvement at the Dalton-Nunda Secondary School present opportunities for the district to learn from its strengths and address its challenges.
